‘Buy less!’: why Sewing Bee’s Patrick Grant wants us to stop #shopping
Grant is very excited about this idea. His book’s subtitle is much better clue to his book: Stop Buying So Much Rubbish: How Having Fewer, Better Things Can Make Us Happier
Less is a sort of anti-shopping guide. Plea to think carefully before we part with our cash
Surprising given that #Grant has himself for 20 years been a #retailer, designer & #clothing manufacturer
For $REASONS, I wanted to buy something locally. Looking online, I ended up finding it in stock at #Visions, so I bought it there and paid online, and chose the pick up option. Because they do "free" shipping, if you pick up you get a gift card for a few bucks as a discount.
But that gift card expires in, like, a month, so I had $35 burning a hole in my pocket. I went back there today to spend it on a MicroSD card that would just about use the whole amount.
And boy, was it difficult to get them to complete the sale without giving them my name, address, and all the rest. Eventually prevailed, but ... I haven't seen this level of aggressive info collection on walk-in customers since Radio Shack was still a (real) thing.
Do brick-and-mortar retailers not realize just how off-putting this sort of thing is?

@kobilacroix OFC #Greedflation will mean that corporations like #Apple will just 1:1 the prices even if the #USD:#EUR goes 2:1.
- They already did it that in the past, and when the $:€ was >1,60:1, it was cheaper for folks to fly to #NYC, sleep one bight in a hotel, buy an #iPhone and fly back to #Germany with #customs & #ImportTax paid...
And yes, I knew a time when people got paid to order for pickup Apple devices in the #USA, fly back with them and properly declare them at customs because even at 2x19% tax + buying new chargers it was cheaper than accepting 60% price gouging.
- So just because the #iPhone will get 104% tariffs in the #US and the #EU production never enters the US it'll likely get parity by numbers because Apple always flexes numbers in disadvantage for buyers!
Also no #retailer will accept sucking up the losses, cuz even if Apple were to make 80% margin on their devices at their stores, they'd be in the red without raising prices...
- But in essence you're correct: #Consumers WILL GET SHAFTED and not the corporations - that's how it's always been! (Ask Brazilians about non - domestic-built game console prices!)…

OFC, everyone from #GPU #manufacturer brand to #BoardPartner to #Retailer & #TaxOffice profit from #Scalping-level prices.
- Thus the only way to fight back is to #BoycottOverMSRP!
Consumers have a choice, and refusing to upgrade or buy a #dGPU but stick with an #iGPU is the only feasible way to get it done!
